Local Wholesaler, Cruz Best Foods Captures International Exposure

Monica Cruz, Business Development Manager, Cruz Best Food showcases the company’s line of products at the recent 2013 Guam Export Trade Show.

“In the past few months of working with the GEDA, Cruz Best Foods could attest to the benefits of exposure to both local and international markets.

Being a small business, opportunities and resources are limited. However, through GEDA’s outstanding support, Cruz Best Foods now confidently anticipates a promising future in meeting goals of continued quality service for the community of Guam.

GEDA has provided opportunities for Cruz Best Foods to promote its products both locally and internationally. One of their promising initiatives is the STEP program, to which the company recently came involved with and led to a network of marketing individuals locally and internationally. In June 2013, the company participated in an Expo in Japan and in August 2013, another Expo in Hong Kong, which has successfully exposed Guam products to the international arena.

In addition, GEDA invited Cruz Best Foods to participate in the Guam Export Trade Show (GETS 2013), a local trade expo that took place on September 21, 2013. These opportunities serve as a milestone for Cruz Best Foods and other local businesses to grow and expand both the local market and the anticipated international market.

With the continued support of GEDA, local businesses such as Cruz Best Foods will be able to further its efforts to expand and maximize business endeavors. For this, the company is grateful and is looking forward to the continued relationship in the promotion of the local business on the island of Guam.”
